Pixelworks Reports Second Quarter 2004 Financial Results

TUALATIN, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2004--Pixelworks, Inc. (Nasdaq:PXLW):

Record Revenue Up 49 Percent Year-Over-Year; Earnings Per Share on GAAP Basis Increased to $0.12 From $0.01 in Second Quarter of 2003

  • Record revenue of $48.5 million in the second quarter increased 49% from $32.6 million in the second quarter of 2003, and increased 7% over $45.3 million in the previous quarter
  • Pro forma(a) net income of $6.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, increased 152% from $2.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2003

(a) Pro forma gross profit, income before income taxes, and net income, which differs from gross profit, income before income taxes, and net income in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), excludes merger-related and restructuring expenses, and non-cash expenses for amortization of purchased developed technology, and stock-based compensation and amortization of assembled workforce. A schedule reconciling these amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is included in this news release. Pixelworks' management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Pixelworks' results of operations as these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance. Pixelworks' management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to monitor performance of the business. Pixelworks, however, cautions investors to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Pixelworks, Inc. (Nasdaq:PXLW), a leading provider of system-on-chip ICs for the advanced display industry, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2004 was a record $48.5 million, a 49 percent increase over revenue of $32.6 million in the second quarter of 2003 and a 7 percent increase over revenue of $45.3 million in the first quarter of 2004.

Net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the second quarter of 2004 was $5.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of $420,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2003 and net income of $6.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2004. Second quarter 2004 GAAP results include non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation, amortization of assembled workforce, and amortization of acquired developed technology of approximately $345,000 (excluded for pro forma reporting purposes).

Pro forma net income in the second quarter of 2004 was $6.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, which compared to pro forma net income of $2.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2003 and pro forma net income of $7.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2004.

"We were pleased with the financial results for the second quarter, which came in at the high end of our expectations and resulted in strong year-over-year revenue and earnings growth," said Allen Alley, President, CEO, and Chairman of Pixelworks. "Advanced television business continued to be the big growth driver with revenue growing 146 percent year-over-year and 15 percent sequentially. Projector business was up 25 percent year-over-year, but down 8 percent sequentially, which was slightly weaker than expected. Our LCD monitor business, while representing only 14 percent of total revenue, was up a better-than-expected 47 percent sequentially due to strength in high-resolution LCD monitor business in particular," concluded Alley.

Business Outlook for Third Quarter 2004

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any investments outside the ordinary course of business, or mergers or acquisitions that may be completed after June 30, 2004. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The inclusion of any statement in this release does not constitute a suggestion by the Company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statements are material. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied in this release will not be realized.

Due to very uncertain and unpredictable economic conditions, it is particularly difficult to predict product demand and other related matters.

The Company estimates net income per share in the third quarter of 2004 will be $0.08 to $0.11 on a GAAP basis and $0.09 to $0.12 on a pro forma basis, based on the following estimates:

  • Revenue of $47.0 to $50.0 million, a year-over-year increase of 32 to 41 percent. Revenue is highly dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, timely new product introductions, the Company's ability to secure additional design wins with customers, growth rates in the flat panel monitor, multimedia projector, and advanced television markets, levels of inventory at distributors and customers, and increased supply of products from the Company's third party foundries.
  • GAAP gross profit margin of 45.0 to 47.0 percent. Pro forma gross profit margin, which excludes an estimated $132,000 in non-cash expense for the amortization of acquired developed technology, of 45.3 to 47.3 percent. Gross profit margin may be higher or lower than expected due to many factors including, but not limited to, competitive pricing actions, changes in estimated product costs, revenue levels, and changes in estimated product mix.
  • R&D and SG&A expenses, combined, of $14.8 to $15.3 million.
  • Non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation and amortization of assembled workforce of approximately $250,000 (excluded for pro forma reporting purposes).
  • Interest income, net of approximately $250,000.
  • Effective tax rate of 34 to 36 percent of net income before income taxes.

   The above pro forma financial statements are presented for
informational purposes only. Our presentation of pro forma financial
information excludes non-cash expenses resulting from acquisitions and
the issuance of stock options, as well as unusual or infrequent
expenses that are not directly attributable to our ongoing operations
and are expected to be incurred over a limited period of time. Because
of these exclusions, our presentation is not in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP). Additionally, our presentation of pro forma financial
information may not be consistent with that of other companies.

   We believe that the exclusion of non-cash charges may help the
investor better understand our liquidity position and the use of
tangible resources in our operations, and the exclusion of unusual or
infrequent items provides an alternative measure which may help the
investor evaluate our underlying operating performance. Pro forma
information is not, and should not be considered, a substitute for
financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
